UTSTILLING 2015

2015·Bergen, Norway

by Espedal, Kristian

Bergen, Norway: Kristian Espedal, 2015. Paperback. Fine. Illustrated throughout, largely in color. [Bergen, Norway]: Kristian Espedal, 2015. First edition, #47 of 100 copies signed by Espedal. The first collection of the haunting and immersive paintings of Norwegian vocalist Kristian Gaahl Espedal (b.1975), issued in conjunction with an exhibition at USF Verftet in Bergen. Described as the evil face of black metal for his assault convictions, controversial political beliefs, and dark aura on stage, the former Gorgoroth frontman came out in 2008, marking only the second instance of a high-profile metal musician publicly identifying as gay - after Rob Halford - and eliciting a considerable backlash from the far right circles with which he had been associated. Amidst it all, Gaahl has remained steadfast in his belief in honesty without compromise, an approach clearly reflected in his artwork. Original pictorial paper wrappers. A fine copy. (Inventory #: 64313)
